This €22.9 million project investment is needed to address the continuous quality failures of existing plants and the lack of appropriate wastewater treatment processes on associated sewerage schemes serving the towns of Belmullet, Foxford and Charlestown in County Mayo.
Raw effluent is being discharged to Broadhaven Bay due to the absence of suitable wastewater treatment for Belmullet and the existing plants serving Foxford and Charlestown are both working above their design capacity and are overloaded on a daily basis. This project will involve constructing two new wastewater treatment plants, upgrades to an existing plant, the incorporation of primary, secondary and/or tertiary treatment processes at the plants, the replacement and upgrading of pumping stations and associated network and new outfall pipes where necessary.
